Putting in the watts link was a night and day difference in the overall way the car rides and handles. With the equipment list on your car it should be a very noticeable improvement. I'd recommend finding someone who has installed them before and can help you tune it after the install. Sam Strano was a huge help with parts and advice.
Im still waiting on the LCA relocation brackets, Do u have full length subframe connectors on you car? Overall Im very happy about my car it just needs little things fine tuning to it. Also has anyone installed the front A arm supports im wondering if and how it works...

I have the full length BMR weld in subframe connectors. Most everyone says they are overkill, but I did them any way. Added weight vs Added rigidity
What A arm supports are you talking about?
Can you clear up my confusion on your front air dam/splitter???

Same splitter that I have but yours is Carbon Fiber. I have ABS. Didn't have the carbon fiber in stock or available when I got mine.

Ah! Must be the paint scheme that's throwing off my eye!
A arm brace/K member brace came stock on the '07's and newer. Check to see if you have one first. If not any brand will do. I have the Steeda. I also have the Steeda front sway bar braces. http://www.steeda.com/products/front...ount_brace.php

Yeah it took me a while to figure out which one i actually had for a while too i ordered the thing on impulse and then took it to get painted and put on before really inspecting it.... i think after i install the LCA's i might be done for a while i still need a intercooler, steeda crank pulley, and meth i wanna run 450 hp as safe as i can when i actually do floor and drive my car.... poor car barley gets driven lol theres not even 10k on it... my lil STI has been my DD

Haha sometimes the my lil STI seems to have more potential then the mustang just cause im running out of things to do to it. As far as UCA im running a adjustable Comp Steeda one...


BTW how are the 4.30's treating u on that and im curious what that is running in the 1/4 like that
